JORDAN SCHILLER

GS Rowing Boatman 7 years ended tenure in 2022

I started at BGS in October 2015, commencing full time in May 2016.

One memory springs to mind:

In 2017 we had a Year 11 2nd VIII run into a city cat buoy, cleanly snapping off their bow. After getting a phone call from their coach, I got a roll of duct tape from the workshop then strolled up to the Boatshed kitchen, grabbed an empty 3 litre milk carton and some scissors and headed down to put a tinny on the water. I met up with them at the B&GPS pontoon, cut the bottom out of the milk carton and taped it onto their boat, doing a good enough job to get them safely back to the BGS pontoon.

Other than that, it is just rewarding to see the young boys who walk through the door in Year 8 gradually develop into young men when they leave in Year 12.
